Ah! Yes. Um...
I've got the materials, they've been knocking round my kitchen for months.
Will try and fettle during the week!

At risk of taking this too seriously...
Should we specify that it has to work in motion, as well as just parked up. Like, the bottle doesn't just bounce out...
Oh.. erm.. I missed this bit. On to bottle cage MK2 then.

I haven't been able to produce anything, been too busy trying to sort our house out!
I suppose that would make me an impartial judge tho.
Anyone NOT in favour of making the deadline new years day?
photos posted in this thread with a short description of the concept?

you've just reminded me what I forgot to order last night, a bottle cage for n+1, shall have to temporarily knick one off my tourer (again!).
no idea on how to make one, only got wooden coat hangers here, though I do believe that there may be a set of trousers due to be picked up from the dry cleaners but the colour would clash with n+1

15 minutes in the garage this afternoon.
Used the whole hanger except the hook and twisted bit beneath.

Must be marks deducted for that

Ok, well I made it. I probably don't fulfil the requirements, as I won't have a chance to road test it now. I think the bottle would stay in well, but it's currently only attached by bolts through holes in the plastic, and I think eventually it would tear off them. Ideally I'd add reinforcing washers or something...

It should also be road tested with a full water bottle so that the momentum of the water mass doesn't destroy the cage under load...

Here's mine, mocked up as I haven't drilled the mounting holes yet.
It's a fluffy slipper. I can do a pair of them.
Arch just suggested a Croc as the heel strap would stop the bottle bouncing out and would also be waterproof.

An insulated one.... brilliant!
If you had one on the seat tube too, then you'd have slippers to wear at your destination.... a plan without fault.
